I'm wondering if I was too subtle on this one. You do realise Russell, that all I did was photoshop John Banks' face onto the old Santa? I was kinda making a joke about what happens when the Auckland City Council spends money or something, I don't know. I just wanted to see what it looked like... as you were.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh........... maybe we need to start using our <sarcasm> and <irony> tags around here again. I just had someone commenting on my facebook that they thought the new santa looked like John Banks. But of course my facebook friends are no public address readers :)

They don't care about the food bank, a clean and tidy Santa will give the image that they care. that is sufficient. Will however give them credit for the housing of the homeless project that was goin' fine until the CitRats took over and stalled but I think it is still happening even if the pov is now better to house to get off the street. All about the image, methinks
